...till May be out. This is an old country saying which means don't discard your warm clothing till the May (Hawthorn) is in flower. This is May blossom. So let's see those clouts off!!
Beautiful capture Steve. Have a similar one in my 'ready to post' folder, but think I will wait now somewhat longer before posting it to Caedes. Very well done!

I love hawthorn blossom. I used to have a den in a hawthorn bush ( when a lot younger :) )and it used to smell amazing when the blossoms were out. I can almost smell these little beauties. A very nice capture U Steve.
Well, as I sit here in shorts and a short-sleeved shirt, I think your old saying is a good benchmark for the warm weather! Beautiful shot, I love the delicate pink coloring.
Aye tis a grand olde saying Steven
It maybe not be foofy Friday but I'll let thee of laddie
Heavenly blossom .. now where's me ferret gone this time. :o(
Did you ever eat Hawthorn leaves? They taste like bread & cheese.
I have learned something too. I always thought that the May referred to was the month!.I think my Mum must have done too cos she never let me take my winter woollies of till June lol. Wish she was here to tell the real meaning. Gosh, I could have had me clouts off much sooner.
That c index score is just shameful. I saw this earlier in the voting booth and I gave it a 10. I downloaded it just now as well, and I know it's going to make a beautiful desktop.
We don’t make art to show someone what something looks like. All this requires is eyes (or a lens). Art is supposed to have meaning, emotion, power, or magic. Alan & Mario "FourThirds"
Well I'm late commenting on this and I think this year's disproved the saying. Anyone who did cast a clout at the end of May will have done some serious shivering in the early days of June. What a summer so far! Funnily enough someone told me a similar Spanish saying - No quitas el sallo hasta el 15 de Mayo - which means don't leave your coat off until the 15 of May. Lovely textures in this Steve - the flowers almost look crinkly - and I see you're mastering depth of field on the new camera.
